Recorded at a one-off free concert in front of 135,000 people in New York's Central Park in June 1967,
Barbra Streisand
's first live album was something of a throwback to her early days, and not only because it waited in the can 15 months before release. (Also filmed, the performance was used as a TV special.) Songs like
"Happy Days Are Here Again"
and
"Cry Me a River"
dated from
Streisand
's 1963 debut album, while the comic
"Value"
was a previously unrecorded song from her first Off-Broadway show,
Another Evening With Harry Stoones
, which ran for one night in October 1961.

proved a charming and funny live performer and, as ever, a great singer. It was amazing that she could pull off what remained essentially a nightclub act in front of such a large audience. ~ William Ruhlmann
